“Christmas is Coming. The Angus are getting fat. Please to put a penny in the old man’s hat,” so the parodied nursery rhyme goes. As Christmas and the holidays approach
the SC Angus Association officers and directors are meeting to plan the Carolina Angus Futurity for March 20-21, 2009. They have met twice in November, the 2th and 9th, to iron out the plans. Those hooves on the roof were not reindeer but the hooves of the conditioned Angus going to the Futurity. Cattle should be selected after Christmas by the selection team. Hold the dates March 20-21th. The banquet and annual meeting always take place on the Friday night preceding the sale. Call Lewis Smith at (864)261-6982 with questions.
Another list beside the one Santa makes is drawn up around Christmas. The SCAA officers nominate a slate of candidates to run for the SCAA leadership positions. Ballots for the election of the new South Carolina Angus Association officers and directors should be in the mail during the month of December. Three slots for directors will be in contention. The ballots must be returned by February first for tabulation.

When Santa Claus is checking his list he will see those Angus that have been good and won ribbons in the shows this year. To find a few that will appear on his list look at the fairs.
The South Carolina State Fair had some Angus that made Santa’s list. On Friday, October 17 the Open Angus Show was judged by Dr. Doug Parrett from Urbana, IL .
The Calf Champion was won by Breann Steadman’s Cedar Creek Mix Wix 708. Chisholm Clark’s Ole Unspoken took the reserve calf champion. Katie Pruitt had both the senior calf champion and the reserve calf champion. Crow T120 won the champion and Jarrell Elba 140 T was reserve. The champion intermediate female was Cedar Creek Lady 2736 and the reserve intermediate female was SBP Miss Lucy 7563. Both were owned by Breann Steadman.
Teddi Steadman won both junior champion female and reserve junior champion female with Dameron Marshal Lady 769 and Dameron SW Blackcap Lass 7115. Champion senior female was Riverhill Hot Rod Rita owned by Chisholm Clark. The reserve champion senior female, CWF Elba 0958110 was shown and owned by Cory Watt.
Teddi Steadman won the grand champion female with her Dameron Marshal Lady 769. Her Dameron SW Blackcap Lass 7115 won the reserve grand champion female.
The junior bull calf champion, Cedar Creek Net Worth 2805, was owned by Teddi Steadman. Net Worth also won the grand champion bull. Louis Inzeo’s WHF Uno won the reserve junior bull calf. Garrett Metz won the champion senior bull calf with Palmettos Hollywood. Louis Inzeo had WHF Apollo in the ring and won champion senior bull and reserve grand champion bull.
On Saturday, October 18, 2008 Judge Wes Hudson from Harrison, AR judged the SC State Fair Junior Beef Angus Show.
Champion senior calf was Rosewood Erica owned and shown by Garrett Metz. Carly Watt won reserve champion senior calf with Whitestone Blackcap. Teddi Steadman led her Dameron Marshall Lady 769 to win the purple rosette for the champion intermediate female. The reserve champion intermediate female was won by her sister Breann Steadman with Cedar Creek Lady 2736.CWF Elba 098110.
The Grand Champion of the SC State Fair Junior Angus Show was won by Teddi Steadman with Dameron Marshall Lady. Drake Yon was awarded the Reserve Grand Champion with Yon Burgess.
The showmanship classes are judged for the junior’s ability in the ring showing the cattle. In the junior showmanship class Carly Watt placed first. In the senior showmanship class Drake Yon took first place honors.
The Cedar Creek cattle went on to the NC State Fair when they left South Carolina State Fair. As Yogi Berra might say,” It was déjà vue all over again.” Teddi Steadman won the grand champion female with her Dameron Marshal Lady 769. Her Dameron SW Blackcap Lass 7115 won the reserve grand champion female. Cedar Creek Net Worth 2805,owned by Teddi Steadman, won the grand champion bull.
Maybe if you helped a Junior Angus member with a heifer or showmanship skills, maybe Santa will find you on his list as well as the beautiful Angus. Merry Christmas to all with Angus and to all a good Angus night.
